Hi John and James

I feel better too after reading this. I raked and weeded, did pencil sketches,

mending, embroidery.A walk around the block all by myself was heaven. Yes this

is the right way to take it easy.

love

Re: Introduction from James Can anyone

make sense of this.

Hi James, I've been through some of your trials and recommend - as have others -

committing to the Safeties.

Also what has helped me, is to do simple repetitive tasks that (to most people)

would seem like very passive and non-descript remedies to your very trying

experiences - things like choosing to weed fairly neatly, just a square metre of

neglected garden, going through your wardrobe or your collections of this and

that and making tiny, flippant decisions on what you would like to discard or

donate and follow through if you wish but with no fuss or bother. Pick a random

set of co-ordinates in your local street directory, drive there and take a quiet

stroll around a few blocks in that area. Browse an old book or photos that

revive memories of when life was much simpler - something that doesn't need

concentration or focus - just drifting.

I suppose I'm saying by the process of shrugging your shoulders, drop out of the

big pictures in your life, exempt yourself as much as possible from drama and

burdensome decision-making tasks - in particular avoid clock-watching in regard

to anything you're doing; steer clear of intense mental processes of any kind;

don't slide into any form of self or interpersonal judgement. Simply hovering

and meandering can and will restore your balance if you go quietly.

Much love - John R.
